The guy was a middleweight as a young amateur by the age of 19. He foght Shawn Porter as amateur, he fought Beterbiev, he fought huge guys in a heavyweight division as a pro.
Hes definitely athletic but I wouldnt say to freak level. Just a good athlete with good work ethic and a good head on his shoulders, and who always turns up in shape and doesnt abuse his body. Its not like he has exceptional speed (even as a smaller HW) or crazy power.

natural talent because he succeeded despite starting late at 15
No freakishly athletic
The freakishly athletic heavies were Mike Tyson and Muhammad

Correct...how would you rate Itauma's athleticism? Some people are calling him the new Tyson but personally I believe he's about as athletically gifted as Usyk i.e. NO freak.

Half Slav BBC Biblical Moses is a superior athletic specimen to Usyk
But Mike is ahead of Half Slav BBC Biblical Moses in speed.
Half Slav BBC Biblical Moses combination of hand speed and power for a heavyweight reminds me of JOE LOUIS
We’ve seen the Korean Mixed Slavs Bivol Tszyu golovkin outperform given their limited numbers
This BBC mixed Slav looks promising
But Half Slav BBC Biblical Moses is the UK now
Half Slav Biblical Moses bringing the British Empire back with his bbc by whooping Usyk and silencing those ukrainian teenie boppers would be poetic
euroids need a reminder that the Brits once ruled the world and that ukraine is but a vassal
anyways what gets by attention is the LEAD Hook of Half Slav BBC Biblical Moses
he’s a rare southpaw who’s front hook is as good as the front hook of orthodox boxers. He makes angles and gets openings for his southpaw right hook to connect

Amazing. He is miodern era RJJ.
Usyk's physical gifts always took second place to his skills and technique. He never relied on them when he was younger, the way RJJ did, so they were not as obvious, watching him fight. Not relying on his physical gifts is the reason why Usyk is still able to perform at elite level in his late 30s, unlike RJJ, who had a very short prime. Having an iron jaw definitely helps too,
